Editor’s note: In this article, Mr. Kauffman (PCA) evaluates the teachings of Keller, Brown, and Tchividjian (also PCA) on progressive sanctification, and limits the terms of the discussion to those identified in the Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 13, “Of Sanctification.” In this article, the term sanctification, when used by Mr. Kauffman, is in reference [...]
This article is written in opposition to the proposition of certain Futurist and Preterist theologians that Paul had one of Jerusalem’s temples in mind while penning Hebrews 9. In Hebrews 9, Paul is not writing about the necessity for Herod’s Temple to be destroyed by Roman armies. Nor is Paul claiming that the final day [...]
The supposed evidence for hyperpreterism lies in the phrase “there shall certainly be a resurrection.” Here the Greek words behind “there shall certainly be” is mellein esesthai.

Currently many authors both in Europe and America are trying to meet the need. In the December 24, 1962, issue of The Presbyterian Outlook, [...]
Ronald Nash has written that “the most serious challenge to theism was, is, and will continue to be the problem of evil.”[1] Warren believes that “it is likely the case that no charge has been made with a greater frequency or with more telling force against theism of Judeo-Christian [Biblical] tradition” than the complication of [...]
